New Endowment Supports Diversity at School of Law

The newly-created Gearhart Family Endowed Diversity Support Initiative recently provided a significant gift to the University of Arkansas School of Law to support its efforts towards diversity in the legal profession.  The Gearhart Family Endowed Diversity Support Initiative was created by alumnus and Walmart executive Jeff Gearhart and his wife Lisa. The Initiative will support internships, student travel, and expanded diversity education as well as other programs. It complements existing diversity initiatives at the School of Law such as LSAC’s DiscoverLaw.org PLUS Program, and the Native Youth Leadership Summit.
